Clemson wide receiver signee TJ Moore (No. 13) was a no-brainer addition to the five-star ranks. The Tampa (Fla.) Catholic product sat at No. 33 for On3 entering the final update and erased any doubt with a show-stopping week at the All-American Bowl. At 6-foot-2.5, 195 pounds, Moore has a technical skill set that is rivaled only by Jeremiah Smith among fellow 2024 wideouts. Moore had the most consistent hands we saw from any receiver – he’s a natural plucker of the football and made a number of highlight reel grabs. He’s also easily one of the top route-runners in the cycle, easily breaking off cornerbacks with his change of direction. What we saw in San Antonio further validated what we saw from Moore up to that point. His skill level, production – 50 receptions for 1,272 yards and 17 touchdowns – and athleticism are that of a five-star prospect.
